Free State Nevada

Welcome to Free State Nevada

Free State Nevada is a grass-roots movement to free rural Nevada from urban, democratic, control.

Nevada is a big state that is largely rural. It is the 7th largest in size, yet only the
35th most populous, and the 42nd most densely populated.

It has numerous mountain ranges, some with peaks over 13,000 feet. It has 172 mountain summits with
over 2,000 feet of prominence. This makes Nevada the "Most Mountainous" state in the country.

The vast majority of Nevada is rural that is relatively lightly populated. However, two large urban areas in
the north and south are irrevocably changing the politcal landscape of the state. Whether you approve
or disapprove about the political direction that the state is following, it's obvious to me that two
distinct political bodies exist that cannot get along and it's time for these two bodies to amicably
separate.

Nevada should split into three separate states that more correctly represent the people. The two population
centers of Reno and Las Vegas could be the capitals of Western and Southern Nevada respectively, while Elko,
or Lovelock, or Ely, or (take your choice) can be the capital of Northern Nevada.

Perhaps the time is right for this to happen. The division between those of conservative and liberal views
is widening and only getting worse. Why should a people so divided continue to live together as one political
entity? We have unreconciliable differences! It's time for an amicable divorce!
